And as I have indirectly listened to a lot of music Jon has in preparation for his blogs, I can safely and definitely concur that Alicia’s music is one of a kind, and I also wholeheartedly agree with everything that Jon has outlined in his blog, that ‘…Alicia’s music slightly has the edge- creating music that challenges the status quo about a lot of issues that may have been untouched, swept under the rug and not discussed for years, had it not been for these melodies. Jon wrote about Alicia in his blog post about influential artists, and as Jon spoke about hit songs at length, such as “No One”, “If I Ain’t Got You”, “Fallin”, “A Woman’s Worth”, “Girl on Fire”, “Superwoman”, “Brand New Me”, “Empire State of Mind Part II”, “In Common” and “Blended Family” to name a few Jon also delved deep into Alicia’s vulnerability and her willingness to speak about issues maybe swept under the rug in the majority of mainstream music. I didn’t review the album ( Jon did!), but songs like “Underdog”, “Love Looks Better” and “Good Job” in particular, impressed me greatly, and showed us all how brilliant, emotive and powerful Alicia is as an artist. One of the most inspiring, comforting, honest, vulnerable, thought-provoking, and impacting albums I’ve heard recently, is R&B artist Alicia Keys’ album ALICIA.
